Mi corazon es tuyo, #147, Thursday Isa gets out of the cage, Fanny turns 20 and Ana continues to act like she's 15
Labels: mcet
The good: Isabella telling Fernando why Enrique is seeking revenge.
The bad: Soledad telling Ana not to bother telling Fernando about Chicago with only two shows left. Can we erase the minds of everyone who knows about Chicago and knows Fernando at the same time? Sure.
The funny: Ana's seaside dream/nightmare with the twins making their stomachs look like they are kissing to Jorge Salinas having a hard time keeping a straight face being chased by Isabella the shark.

For a moment, when Isabela was talking to Fernando about Enrique, she seemed like a normal and intelligent human being. Then we remember her as the shark in the fake ocean!
Looks like lots happening now, as Enrique goes after others, things heat up between Lenin and Leon, Ana has to go back to Chicago, etc.
I enjoyed the scene between Lenin and Ana. The former is not going to win out but gets to be more likable all the time.
Fanny looked so silly and immature as the teacher was giving out the assignment and she was texting about the party. She really did seem like a high school student. It will be interesting to see how this theme is resolved. She could write a nice paper with Edith and Lenin about the shelter that she loves so much and redeem herself with the teacher. Mostly, of course, she just needs to apply herself.
Jarifa
All I can say at this point is for cripes sake, if Fanny really still has it bad for Leon, then let poor Lenin down easy and stop jacking his chain, as they say. It's starting to be downright cruel to string this guy along if you have no real feelings for him that equal what apparently he now has for you.
And Fanny's whole texting in class- WTH was that? I thought better of her and thought we were seeing her serious about her career choice and making Mom proud. She's starting to come off as the spoiled rich girl again.
I didn't get the whole how your born dictates your destiny--what was that? It presents challenges either way, but this isn't taking place in India where there is a definitive caste system. Fanny wanted to stop being the pretty pretty princess, she could. And is most likely making a new life for herself outside her original start in life, or are they telegraphing something there?
Put that with Ana's weird dream - foreshadowing Isa will bite Fer in the you know where when he finds out about little Diego?
I'm starting to get weird vibes that Osorio is going to pull his trademark, let's make our comedy go really dark for the ultimates, and then we'll do a really stupid happy ending that makes viewerville mostly frustrated outside the predictable main couple. ( well, that said, if this one has alternate endings, who the heck knows where this is going).
Boy, I need those TUMS.
Are we going to get an Isa retcon after her ordeal? Or will she continue to go after Ana?

I was cringing when the twins did their little number in Ana's weird nightmare but as I read your description I was imagining them 20 years from now as stars of a future edition of Solo Para Mujeres. Of all the kids they are the ones who look most like Jorge, who was in the original cast. And they did do The Full Monty.
Hissabela still has to be afraid of Enfrique, but that doesn't mean she will do an about face.
As much as I don't want to see Fanny with Lenin at the end I don't want to see Enfrique kill him. I'd like to see that shock machine used on Enfrique and the crazy thing is that the twins would probably have the cojones to do that, even at their tender age.
The idea of being unable to rise above your own class is too old to take seriously when people do it all the time. Give moi a break.
I thought Isabela's shark makeup so cool. The way they did the mouth appeared the jaws massive.
Caste by birth is sickening, though unfortunately many countries continue to practice while professing otherwise. The country of my ancestral origin in Asia continues with feudalistic undercurrents while professing a free society and equal opportunity. Even immigrants to the US attempt to perpetuate the pecking order based on familial geography, blood linage and royal connection.
I was sad to see Isabela getting rescued so quickly. So now we'll have Fanny kidnapped and let me guess, Leon will find her and save her. And once Fanny is taken, the whole beach trip will be off.
Adriana, I'm sorry for your toothache, and not being able to deal with it for 2 weeks will be difficult. Maybe it will go away.
Did anyone else notice that she fell asleep with DN on the bed with her?
This is an absolute NO, NO. Nowadays it is somewhat a common fact (at least to educated women) NOT TO fall asleep with an infant in the bed with you. One can roll over on top of the infant while they are asleep and smother the child.
"Fanny and Lenin talk about how being born within a social class kind of seals your destiny. #stupid" --ITA!! Why bother improving yourself and preaching to those girls at Mercedes if you think one is born into a caste system? The point is that schooling, training, and learning improves your prospects IF you choose to pursue the new possibilities--ala Leon!! Leon is the perfect example to disprove Lenin's marxist dialectic bunkam.
"During class Fanny keeps texting Ximena about the surprise that she knows Lenin is setting up for her (Ana told her). The teacher takes her phone and at the end of the class tells her that her results aren’t that great, maybe she should reconsider her career choices." --The prof also told her that texting was very high-school of her, which IMO nailed Fanny to a T. About time somebody broke it to her!!
"Well, if Nando said so… So much for the adults banning this dangerous game." --Crazy!! What are we teaching our kids??? And why are we teaching them this sort of insanity???
I didn't see the picture of Leon and his latest art work. Zoned out...he's been pretty decent in the past. Did it look like either Laura or rats, forgot his co-worker's name in marketing? She sort of resembles Fanny--Ah, we could wish he has an underlying attraction to his co-worker. Lenin is growing on me and hate to see him hurt, though I know it will happen.
Ok - votes. What do we think happens with Nando and Ximena? Does he kiss her and realize, nope, not there? Or do we have true love's kiss and Edith is odd girl out?
Daisynjay
Still playing catch up. But doesn't sound like there's much to be excited about hurrying that up.
UA: cell phone etiquette is non-existent it seems.

Adriana Noel, i simply can't believe you came up with this jewel while having tooth pain... Ambesol might help the symptoms. Anyway, lots of cold drink (no ice but cold), soft food/meals and lots of rest.
My favs included:
#stupid
'For once Isa is the sane person in the room cage.'
'#badadvice' (boy howdy was it bad advice!)
Also loved Fernando telling Isa on phone after breathing hard to contain himself that everyone was anxious and asked her in a calm way to stop YELLING at him. (that was good! although he was WAY TOO NICE to her under the circumstances)
Jarifa, ITA on Jorge Salinas (dressed in Popeye stripped black and white swimsuit) having a hard time keeping a straight face being chased by Isabella the shark
cathyx, ITA about It seems that Leon is forgetting what Fanny looks like, his drawing didn't look at all like her. ITA. it seemed like the original drawing of Fanny he gave her after the 'tacos' trip was made by a teacher/master and the one he was working was made by a drunk guy or someone with mind issues... smeared, very rookie-like compared to his original one.
DaisynJay... 'true love's kiss'... loved that... Nando even looks like a fairy tale prince with those blue eyes and blonde wavy hair.
I loved the beach dream. The adults are being such good sports about all the silliness. Especially Mayrin.
From a distance, at least to these old eyes, Nando2.0 looks like William Levy.
Thanks Adriana for your excellent recap. Hoping your tooth feels better soonest.
The novela has examples of both ways... look at Freeky himself and Isa herself... they were born to good status families and they are good examples of the 'if you could see me now... NOT!' commercial
I believe there are things that are made easy for you when you don't have to worry about money or about having certain surname, but the dependency on that is smaller now at least in US than it was at least two generations ago.
Now there are resources folks can use both public and private to educate yourself, even if your family is not in a financial position to help you... and if you happen to be born in a well to do social/financial family, then shame on you if you don't take advantage of the opportunities and make the best of them...
so it might be a little bit more difficult if you are born in a situation like Leon's but it is not by any means impossible. So Lenin is leveraging the socialistic/feudalistic views that his parents and their lifestyle used to condemn and criticize so much.
BTW, Polo Morin (Nando) is actually almost 24 years old.
Mati, agree that Isa did seem normal while talking to Fer. Obviously, been held hostage has put some sense into her. Did she even warn Fer about Freeky going after Fanny or did Fer deduce that on his own?
can't stand Lenin, no matter what;
* personally I couldn't deal with a guy reciting poetry to me all day long and with every response to my conversation with him;
* his socialist views really bother me (lived in a dictatorship);
* he is a walking example of what is wrong with socialism.
I still don't understand why Isabruja told Fernando about IkkyLizard wanting revenge. Does she perhaps really love him...
I didn't notice JS's smile during the dream scene, I was too busy shaking my head in disbelief at what I was watching.
The whole social class talk is very common to telenovelas. Lenin put it in his own pompous way, but people in many parts of the world are still judged by their humble beginnings.
Victoria, I was born in a communist country, I don't enjoy Lenin's philosophies, either. But when it comes to wooing Fanny, I don't mind him.
Leon does seem to have forgotten how his beloved really looks like. You guys make a good point about the drawing being rather poor and amateurish.
Oh, and YES on the baby thing! I wanted to mention it in my recap, but I forgot. The bassinet was just there, Ana should know better than to sleep with the baby next to her, especially with the crazy dreams that she gets. I slept with my mom when I was that age and so did my brother and we turned out fine, but my mom always talks about how she could barely get a moment of rest while she had us in her bed, because she was always sleeping with one eye open.
Good luck with your tooth. Nothing worse. Hope you can get some long-run relief ASAP.
On the question of social status, I must have missed the boat in listening to the conversation. I thought that Lenin was quoting one of the books that they are reading for the class and that Fanny decided she was tired and didn't want to deal with it. Lenin may believe but I thought the point of the scene was to again question whether any of this is really for Fanny.
Political philosophies are completely confusing here. Lenin may believe that people can't escape their social class, but he dedicates his time to seeing that the children at the shelter are not only cared for but continue their studies. Remember, Marcela wants to be a doctor.
I can't believe that I have wasted this much brain power in trying to decipher all of this when logic doesn't always prevail here! Better to comment on Nando's resemblance around the eyes to William Levy.
Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber (D) stepped down today, leaving Mahonia Hall (Executive Mansion) in disgrace & in massive scandal!

Kitzhaber was inaugurated to an unprecedented 4th term on January 12th! Long fall into disgrace for the Beaver State's longest-serving Governor with 12 years in office!
Hope your toothache is better. Take care that you don't have an impacted tooth that can lead to an infection. IMO it would be totally unacceptable to wait 2 weeks for a dentist. But I am old and cracky.
Very interesting discussion about Lenin and his views. As I said earlier and which Mati summed up rather nicely, "logic doesn't apply here".
I could blog all day long about WL, FC, and others and their propensity for wearing tight shirts with short sleeves that are so tight at the top to show off their muscles. I see that Nando and JA (Angel ) are following in their footsteps with their own wardrobe selection.
I'm still thinking about Urban's theory that Enrique killed Fanny Sr. I can't get that out of my head, but I don't think Osorio or his writers are that clever...
OT: Steve, yes I hear you. So disappointing that the governor just didn't "get" why the whole fiancee/business entanglement was an ethics nightmare.

Just wanted to add a comment about Lenin and his socialist ideas. It is my experience that people who start admiring this stuff are ones who have never experienced it. Nothing in socialism/communism ever worked the way Karl Marx described it and nobody ends up benefitting.... except those in power.
He needs to read a few books about the day to day lives of people under Stalin, Kruschev, and Mao Tse Tung.
